Miura releases new putter, two new iron sets for lefties

Published

For left-handed golfers, purchasing golf clubs is more difficult than it is for righties. It’s not that lefties don’t buy golf clubs (we hear you on GolfWRX lefties!); it’s just there are far fewer left-handed golfers in the world. Lower demand equals lower supply.

But according to recent studies, the lefties are coming. And Miura is taking notice.

“With our operations based in Canada, where recent statistics indicate that some 30 percent of new golfers are lefties, we’re always looking to better serve left-handers,” said Bill Holowaty, Executive Vice President, Product Strategies of Miura Golf. “We are thrilled to offer some more options for those golfers.”

For the first time ever, Miura is offering a left-handed putter — the LH KM 006. The company will also release a Y-grind version of its MB-001 and CB-57 irons. Learn more about each of the clubs below.

LH KM-006

Although it’s a “Series 1957” KM 006 putter, this left-handed model is slightly different than the right-handed version that was previously released. It has rolled top line and tapered heel for a different visual effect.

Like the right-handed version, however, the LH KM-006 is forged using the same forging process as Miura’s irons. The toe-weighted, offset putter also has an oiled-chrome finish and a milled face.

Y-Grind Irons

A club’s bounce and leading edge are crucial at impact, when the club meets the ground. As such, Miura Master Grinder Yoshitaka Miura developed the Y-grind, which debuted in the company’s Series 1957 wedges.

The new grind gave golfers an opportunity to better match their swing characteristics to the sole of their wedges for better turf interaction. Later, Miura incorporated the sole design into the MB-001 and CB-57 irons, which are now available in left-handed models.

How is the Y-grind different from the standard grind?

Modifications are made to the leading edge and sole, leading to “more efficient” turf interaction for certain golfers. Added contours allow golfers to attain proper bounce and lie angles for each specific iron, according to Miura.

See the difference between the LH MB 001 irons and the LH MB 001 Y-grind irons on Miura’s website:

The Y-grind also makes other adjustments compared to the standard grinds, such as head weight, density and balance.

The Y-grind irons have a slightly modified toe profile and top line, as well, providing a different look and feel for golfers that want or need it.

With the new offering, left-handed golfers now have a better chance of finding the Miura iron that’s best for their individual swing and preferences. Before buying, however, remember to get a proper fitting from a professional to see if this grind suits your game.

Both of these LH Miura models have been around, but not with this special Y sole grind.

Compare Miura’s translation of these two models with their RH counterparts. They are smaller.

It’s 2016, yet the depth of the muscle in the back pad appears smaller than the RH models
Why?
The Cavity Back model has also been around, but appears smaller than the RH one.

Would spring on the LH design of the RH CB 57 model Miura made for Jack Nicklaus, but since these LH smears are not the same size, none of Miuras’ RH CNC milled designs will translate.

I admit it I am a lh handed Miura fanboy however I don’t agree that Miura tournament blades have more offset when compared to my mizuno mp-32 or mp-68 at least not at address. However with that said the tb’s are the easiest blade I have ever hit the tb gives me the feel and flight of a blade as compared to any cavity back iron that I just balloon to the heavens. Further, I have tried every lh players club over the last few years and by tried I mean purchased (no try before buy for a lefty when looking for great clubs) this includes titleist ap2/cb callaway apex pro and mizuno all of which I gave away to various lefty players I am friends with in lower tax brackets than I always landing back with my 8 year old Miura tournament blades.
What I am saying is I really wish I had the multiple left handed options that Miura is finally offering. I am already considering getting fitted for the y grind and maybe even buy a backup set of the tb in black that are now finally being offered for lefties! (I have wanted them in LH for years as stains are rough on a sunny day)
I hope that my local Miura dealer / fitter will carry a lh six iron in these sets so I can at least compare the feel to my current tournament blades (tb) . Bottom line any progress for lefties is a positive thing so thank god for Miuraand mizuno two of the few companies offering quality golf gear for the lefty! I may even try the putter although I am pretty happy with my custom made SeeMore. Now all they need to do is expand the wedge grinds or offer custom wedge grinds for lefties too and I can switch from my scratch wedges. For the record I hover around scratch/plus player depending on time of year…

I guess the right thing to say is, I hope that having such a high profile golf club maker provide more offerings for left handers will spurn other major brands to do the same. But the truth is, they won’t, because it doesn’t make sense for their bottom line yet. As a left-handed Canadian golfer, I’m very glad to see Miura shake up its line-up.

I still may own a set of Miura CBs in forseeable future, those getting more interesting.

They are nice but I have a set of 8 yr. old KZG Irons made by Miura that are just like the CBs except they have a small offset that I really like. I shafted them with Fiber Steel 75gr shafts and they are great.

The hand that controls the dexterity of the shot is the right hand for a left handed shooter. Many right handers “play switch” due to this fact.

I for one play golf, baseball, and hockey lefty but write right handed.

Miura might be out of my price range but I’ll never complain about new offerings for our handedness.

Same club, different grind. No innovation. Hoodwinked us into believing these new clubs. Owned the blades; Great quality and feel, but flawed by the offset design. The 4-PW all have same offset number, and it is apparent at address. Outdated. Bill, blend blade and CB into 1 set with more progressive offset and you will have a ‘Titleist Slayer’…

    Don’t follow, but cute. Maybe I should have said ‘Evolution’, not ‘Innovation’. I meant a more gradual offset to improve the flow and playability, not turn them into shovels. Retain the overall size, look and feel. Just an opinion from someone who’s gamed them.

Well done Miura! I don’t know how many times I have been to their website to find what I want not be available. I love to see another golf company I can consider when I spend all my disposable income!

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

May 12, 2026

Gianni Magliocco

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
